Day 35. Still no cook hired at work. Day 35 of me, the director doing the cooking for the whole school.

Day 35 shall also be known as the day Suzie the director/cook set a very large pot of rice on fire. Complete with flames and smoke.

And day 35 shall also be known as the day of the tremendous stink.

For those of you who have never set a large pot full of pounds and pounds of rice on fire you are missing out on a very unique smell. The smell is a cross between burnt smell, farts and desperation. It is a smell no matter how you spray or air and area out will never seem to go away.

Its the kind of smell where upon entering the school people stare accusingly at one another and wait for the other to blush.

It is the kind of smell that clings to you and follows you home.

It is the kind of smell that says do not let this women ever cook again. Take away her pot. Take away her serving spoon for the good of mankind.

The smell has spoken...I beg of you people please listen before it is too late.

I also encountered that smell when my Japanese host family let me attempt to cook dinner one night. They very sweetly ate it anyway and politely changed the topic whenever I suggested helping out in the kitchen again.

LOL! oh geez! was i not supposed to laugh? you're right, that IS a terrible smell.

any idea when the cook might be hired?

you are a way better trooper than i. those kiddies would have boiled noodles or bread every day. i would never try to cook rice for so many. i can barely cook rice properly for my family of four! god bless you suzie!
